COMBINATION HEATING- AND COOKING- STOVE.

Application med December 2, 1927. sei-181 No. 237,178.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in combination heatlng and cooking stoves.

One object of the invention'is to provlde a readily portable stove which may be quickly and easily converted from a heating stove into a cooking stove and as easlly re turned to its normal condition.

' Another feature of the invention is to provide astove whichmay be used as a cookas a heating stove in cold weather.

Another object of the invention is to provide a stove, provided with movable parts for concealing, to a large extent, the cooking elements when it is not desired to usethe same.-

A construction designed to carry out the invention will be hereinafter described, together with other features of the invention.

The invention will be more readily understood from a reading of the following specification andby reference to the accompanying drawings, in which an example of the invention is shown and wherein:

Fig. l is a fr`ont elevation of a stove con-4 structed in accordance with my invent1on,

the upper portion of the stove being broken away and parts illustrated in section,

Fig. 2 is a rearelevation of thel same, Fig. 3 is a plan view, the top cover being slid `to the cooking position,

Fig. 4 is an enlarged vertical sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 5 is a plan view of thetop cover member. In the drawings the numeral 10 designates a rectangular vertical stove body supported on legs and havinga transverse opening 11 in the lowerv ortion of its front wall. The opening 11 -orms the frontv of a heating chamber 12 within the stove. lThe top of this chamber is defined by a transverse par- 'and form- `ing the bottom of an oven 14. In the rear portion of the heating chamber a transverse gas burner 15Qis mounted.

' j A panel 1e hinged within the Chamber 12 contiguousto the bottom of the opening 11 is normally inclined within the chamberv and has its upper end restin upon a transverse bracket 17. This pane?v forms a deilector for diverting the vheat currents outward through the openingll, vThis panel is provided with a., friction lug 18v near its upper the heat units that other arrangements be made.

end adapted to engage the upper edge of the opening 11 when the panel is swung forward to close the opening 11,-as is shown in dotted-lines in Fig. 4.

It will be seen that when the panel is open the heat units will be deflected through the opening 11 and the stove utilized as la heater, but when the opening is closed by the panel will be confined in the chamber 12v and the oven 14 thus more effectively heated.

The oven is provided with a door 19 hinged on the back of the stove, as is shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The oven has a false front wall 20 spaced inwardly from the front wall of the stove so as to provide a vertical space 21 therebetween. The top wall 22 of the chamber 23 having a top 24 provided with eyes 25. Gas burners 26 are mounted in the' chamber 23 under the eyes 25. These gas burners are connected with a manifold 27 by means of cocks 29.

^ For supplying the stove with gas a T 30 is provided with a nipple 31 for connecting with a hose or other medium for conducting gas to said T. The T is connected in a feed pipe32 connected at its upper end with the manifold 27 and at its lower end with the Ioven forms the bottom of a transverse burner supply pipes 28 including burner 15. A cutoff valve 33 is connected in the pipe 32 below the T 30 so that the supply of gas to the burner 15 may be controlled or cut oii'. This makes a simple arrange; ment of gas supply pipes, but it is obvious and locations could For concealing the eyes 25 and the manifold 27, I provide a cover member composed of two sections .34 and 35 hinged together. The vertical space 21 isof vsuch depth as to receive the plate-like section 34, whereby the narrow section 35 is left standing upright above the top 24, as is shown in Fig. 4. This upstanding section forms` a guard when the,l eyes 25 are uncovered. When it is desired to use the stove merely as a. heater, the cover member is pulled upwardlyso as Ato extend over the top 24 with the section 35 hanging down over the manifold 27, as is shown in dotted lines in Fig. 4.

Various changes in the size and shape of v the different parts, as well as modifications and alterations, maybe made within the scope of the appended claims.

opposite said open front when not closingsaid opening, an oven in the upper part of the stove body, a burner in the heating chamber, a cooking burner in the top of the stove, and va. movable cover for concealingl the cooking burner.

2, ln a combination heating and cooking stove, a stove body having a heating chamber at its lower portion other than an oven, a'burner chamber at the top of the body having an eye in its top, .a gas burner. in the burner chamber,the body having a storage space, and a covermember comprising hinged sections removably stored insaid space when removed to expose the eyeV of said burner chamber, one of which sections rests'upon the top of the burner chamber when withdrawn and the section is folded at van angle thereto to form a front guard.

3. In a combination heating and cooking stove, a stove body, a heating chamber inthe lower portion of the body having an opening contiguous to the bottom of the oven, a burnin its front, a bracket within the heating chamber, a closure panel hingedin the heating chamber at the base of the front opening andsupported at an angle by said bracket, said closure panel closing'said chamber opening when swung, an oven immediately over the heating chamber, a gas burner at the upperportion of said heating chamber er chamber in the stove body immediately above the oven a d having a gas burner therein and rovided with an eyeat its top, and a mova le fiat cover plate for the top of said burner chamber.

4; ln a combination heating and cooking stove, a stove body having a heating chamber in its 'lower portion provided with an open front, means for closing Said open front arranged to be positioned as a heat deflector opposite the open front when not closing the same, an ove-n in the upper part of the stove body, and a cooking burner in the top of the stove.

5. ln a combinatlon l heating and cooking stove, a stove body having a heating chamber in its lower portion provided with an -open front, fa closure plate pivoted atts Alower edge at said open front and adapted to swing into said chamberto act as a deflector opposite said front, a burner inthe heating chamber, and a'pcooking burner in the top of the stove.

6. In a combination heating and cooking stove, a. stove body having a heating chamber in its lower portion other than 'an oven, an

'loven above said chamber 'having a vertical storage space at its rear, a burner chamber above said oven having an eye in vits top, a burner alined with said eye, and a rigid imperforate cover plate adapted to lie horizontally upon the top of the burner Chamber and to be removably stored in said space when moved to expose the eye of said burner Ichamber.
